31 Days of Getting Organized (Using What You Have) – Day 4: Jars in the Kitchen

Welcome to Day 4 of 31 Days of Getting Organized by Using What You Have.

I promise this whole organizing series is not going to be about using glass jars but there are so many organizing options using them that I just have to share these great ideas. Today I’m going to be sharing ways to use them in the kitchen.

My pantry is small and I don’t have extra storage in this house so sometimes it’s just easier to display the things you use often. Like I said before, everything looks awesome under glass, even beans and rice on my kitchen counter.

I have an issue with storing things in the bags they come in. They usually don’t stay closed, make a mess and don’t stay fresh. It’s so much easier to pour it in a jar and keep it contained. You can also stack them if you need too.

I added chalkboard labels to the jars so I can change them if the contents change. Why is the candy jar the one that’s always empty? I think I need a hidden stash.

Contain your cooking utensils in jars next to the stove.

Have a jar of homemade hand scrub next to the sink for a quick clean-up after gardening or working on the car.

Make an awesome soap dispenser out of a mason jar. Check out how I made it in this post.
